You might best know the Lake of the Ozarks as the muse of Netflix’s original show “Ozark.” Strip away the drama, the cameras, and all that... er other stuff, and you have a premier boating community and tourist hot spot.

Why go?
  • Take the guesswork out of your family getaway. Just pack the suits and hit the water for cost-effective fun — wakesurfing by morning, coving out in the afternoon, and dinner on the water by night.
Act like a local:
  • History buffs and hikers unite. Ha Ha Tonka State Park features miles of trails, caves, bluffs, a natural bridge, and Missouri’s 12th largest spring. The park’s most notable feature is the Ha Ha Tonka ruins, a 20th century stone mansion modeled after 16th century European castles.
